it looks a lot better the UI is awesome

The Unknown Stream Error I find happens when you have tunneled playback turned on it Configuration settings It even states in the description to turn it off if you experience playback issues. Backup Player is just LibVLC, which is VLC without the UI of VLC.

A few more weeks and you'll probably be happier

I get what you are saying, but if it worked before, then the provider has changed something I guess ? I primarily use W** and have not had a media streaming error in a long time on any of my boxes (including the new X5 SS). Actually the X5 SS did show it once earlier today, but it was a quick message, and within about 2 seconds, it started streaming with no input from me. I know some of the streams (like the Pluto streams) that W** carries used to be in some other format, and was causing primary player to not work well, but w** fixed the stream to be like others, after it was reported to them. And 2 other services I use, I have not seen any increase in media stream errors. If it is not w** you are referring to, then maybe you can provide the details to aab on the specifics of the service in question.

There is only one person who can answer that

hopefully you stop hoping

I never noticed this until just now lol.

I would do a reset myself

JDMotes didn't reply but he did post this on another forum C and p Nope, but someone on the STBTalk forum suggested that I try turning off the CEC option on the U5’s setup menu -and so far that seems to be working.

try a factory reset if that don't improve things do a hard reset

Hey thanks that was it my sound is back. Thank you so much very appreciated.

does it work properly on a 3rd party iptv app?

Try another set of batteries. If I had a dime for every time I've heard people tell me they just replaced the batteries with new batteries and it turns out the batteries are bad, I'd be a millionaire When you say it was unpaired, was it listed in the accessories but just not connected ? Did you just click on it to have it connect, or did you delete it from the list and then re-pair from scratch ? Also, try turning the bluetooth off for 5 seconds, and then turn it back on.

used my backup from my xrs 4900 which made setting up even easier loaded ipvanish and analiti using mic to find them

They are not ready

Well it obviously won't be. It is still listed as "Pre-Order" on their web site. Even the testers here have not received their boxes. It is summer holidays and I am sure they are all exhausted, and probably need to iron out a few more issues in the software. Last thing you need, is to get an expensive box which is riddled with too many bugs. Better wait.

it's always been like that

if you have one button record turned off scroll to the bottom after pressing red button and save even edit time if you want before saving

Then it's not recording Go into menu ,change configuration to one button record,open up guide, select a show and hit red button Does it tell you recording starting and red button at top right?

then you aren't recording are you pressing red button to record?

You've single a mac based server or xc api? What are you doing after you set up recording? Shutting machine off ,watching another show Post more info please

catchup worx on mac went back over 7 hours as a test it's your service

Read the last reply in the nearly 2 year old thread you revived ? Need more info... Box model, firmware version, software version, etc.. And the Dutch with no captioning, that is you iptv provider's issue, not buzz. From Menu->Settings->configuration, have you tried changing the player for VOD/TV Series to backup or even external ? You can install VLC (if not already installed), or MX player, or anything else, and you can use that. But without more info, this thread will die like it has twice before.

there's plenty of good exteral drives out there for less

Was same price at Canada Computers, Newegg Canada, Staples, memory express and even bestbuy canada. In the US it was USD$150 (also 40% off) - at least on Amazon, bestbuy USA.and newegg USA Most places, the sale expires tonight (funny some expired as I was typing this - price was $194 when I checked as I started typing, and now I checked again, and back to regular price). WD has their 2TB black nvme for $192 right now also, and it is a pretty nice price for this unit if you need one. Prices are coming down slowly on larger nvme. https://www.westerndigital.com/en-ca/products/internal-drives/wd-black-sn850x-nvme-ssd?sku=WDS200T2X0E

I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay full price but 40% off was just too good I would've been kicking myself if I didn't buy it

possibly,considering it can be used in a 3900 or 4900

true but I've never been able to use d pad to scroll once signed in

Once you hit the signin with mouse you can use the keyboard normally

Have you tried forgetting/deleting the WiFi settings on the box and then recreating them ? The WiFi has nothing to do with Buzztv5 itself, since that is part of the OS/firmware, not BuzzTV5 software. Maybe try rebooting you WiFi router/access points also.

Buzz 5 has been out for a while without having those issues You might want to reset your box but before you do that what is your current firmware and software

Oh ok got it the app is called syncler you have to pay for a syncler plus subscription along with RD or premiumize as I mentioned earlier but as long as you don't mind paying for both of those things it's a great app and in my opinion you get what you pay for it's great for movies and TV series

I see no issue with naming the app asking for help with the app is a different story

Agreed. And with the Backup/restore option in the BuzzTV 5 software (which I am assuming will carry over to BuzzTV 6), you can easily backup you servers, favorites, and buzztv software settings, so if you ever need to factory reset the box (and I do it often when testing), you can easily at least restore those settings, instead of spending time manually redoing them. So even if you do so many changes while testing and don't remember every one you did and have strange behaviours, there is a simple option. Sure it does not backup 3rd party apps. Personally I have all the usual 3rd party apps that I use and like to install, on a single USB stick. I keep it up to date with all the latest version of the APKs I like to sideload. So reinstalling them take less than 5 minutes, using the included "app installer". Then maybe another 10 minutes configuring the few little custom settings on those apps. Sure if you use Kodi, it can take quite a while to reinstall all the plugins and re-configure, but I have not used that in ages so does not affect me.

Can you try going to Settings->Device Preferences->Display & Sound->Advanced sound settings->Select Formats, and set it to "None: Never use surround sound" And then try again.

So after factory reset on the 4900 everything seems to be working again with no issues with the remote i was having problems with.. might of just been glitch in box.. will see if it stays worling

If there is not much 3rd party software installed/configured, then it might be worth backing up your BuzzTV servers/favorites (ensure you get a ZIP file on a USB stick). Then doing a factory reset on the box and then restoring your servers/favorites. Might be quicker than stabbing in the dark

If the stream source gets changed that is fine, but what does the backup player have that cannot be implemented in primary player? I'm glad you agree primary offers the best experience and it should be able to handle whatever the backup player can. Changing the stream format to TS, HLS or M3U does not help with this unknown stream error so it has to be more than just a change in stream source. Just need to understand how it works.

If you are using an USB key, then it is quite possible it is a poor quality and slow USB key. Also, is the USB key plugged into the USB3 port (ie: one with blue connector) ? the other one is only USB2.

my apologies, just got the email and got too excited

Please keep it to one thread. You already posted the details, did not need to stat a second topic/thread.

First of all the integrated drive location on the bottom of the U5, is NOT a USB drive bay, it is for a SATA drive. Did you try removing the drive all together to see if it behaves the same ? Is the drive a traditional mechanical drive, or an SSD ? I find that traditional mechanical drives tend to get extremely hot, since it is a non-ventilated compartment. I strongly recommend using a decent quality SSD drive, which typically get just slightly warm. When the drives get too hot, they will often auto-eject. You said you checked the power supply. Is it the original power supply which was provided with the U5 ? The U5 uses a 12V power supply, compared to most other buzz boxes which us a 5V power supply (xrs4900 is another exception).

yeah that will be a good start if someone has any doubts.

The 990 Pro is the one that buzztv have been testing with the p6.i emailed them to see which drive they recommend

Totally hyped now

it formats external to fat32

Like I said, On Android 11 boxes (which includes the X5), I don't recall if it is FAT32. You'd have to check. But if it is, NO there is no way to change that, since that is part of the Android OS, not a Buzz customization. Simple enough test, put a USB key into your box, format it as portable storage, then remove it, and plug USB key into a PC and check what filesystem type it has ( on Windows just open My Computer, an right click on the USB drive to see the properties). But this will only affect people who are are going to be downloading large VODs locally (like some 4k ones), or doing really long recordings. The majority of people will not be affected during normal use.

I always use shutdown. That way every time I turn it on, it is a clean boot, with no glitches from previous sessions or drivers lingering and potentially causing performance issues. Sure it take an extra minute to boot, but I'd rather take an extra minute than having things acting up and not knowing if it was due to some stuff lingering from previous sessions or actually something with my ISP or service . Yes, if you format media using FAT32, you are limited to 4GB per file. So any movie downloads (from VOD) you do, will be truncated to 4GB. Any any really long recording may fail also if they surpass the 4GB mark. IF possible, you should connect any media (USB key or HDD) to a PC and format it in exFAT format. I don't remember what Android 11 boxes do nowadays, but I know with older Android 9 (and previous) boxes would default to formatting all media to FAT32. This was not a Buzz choice, it was an Android default.

welcome, we dont discuss about servers and server related issues here. we only discuss about buzz device. however, I would advise you to use as XC API option instead of m3u file. you can ask your provider for info or open up m3u file on your pc in notepad or any text editor and copy url, your uasrename and password and try to use as XC API.

Okay guys, I got it fixed. First, I tried it on the 4900, while the Classic was switched off ofcourse. And viola, recording and watching another channel worked. Booted up the Classic but still got the error. So, I did a backup within the Buzz app, cleared data in device app settings. Restored backup and it's now working again. I remember trying 2, yes 2,recordings and watching another channel and it worked. So maybe this caused the Buzz app to "trip" making it not recognize my sub having multiple connections. Mind you, it worked on a different service so maybe recording 2 channels simultaneously causes a glitch. I noticed after restoring I was on the default theme even though dark mode red was enabled which is what I use. So I had to select default and then had to choose red when the Buzz app reopened. Stream format was on Auto even though I use TS. I also had to re-enable one button record. I also saw a few new categories in my channel list. I've logged out of the Buzz app and rebooted many times and these categories never showed up. Normally it would but the clearing of app data and restore brought them to light. It wasn't like that before. Anyway, thank you to everyone who offered assistance and opinions. Really appreciate it.
